Say it ain't so! A working parent's favorite fall-back meal -- the rotisserie chicken -- may not be a good choice if you're concerned about reducing your risk of cancer. Celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson has just launched a foodie website for men -- and we're happy to report it's smart. Plus, photos of baby shower cakes that would have been most appropriate for "Rosemary's Baby."

Time’s online Healthland section asks the provocative question: Are hot dogs better for you than roast chicken? The magazine says that a new study reported in the journal Meat Science showed that rotisserie chicken is actually the riskier option when it comes to cancer.

“The carcinogens in question are heterocyclic amines (HCAs), which are compounds found in meat that has been fried, grilled or cooked at high temperatures. Diets high in HCAs from meat increase people's risk of stomach, breast and colon cancers, according to the National Cancer Institute.

The results: Pepperoni had the lowest HCA levels, followed by hot dogs. Rotisserie chicken and cooked bacon had the highest levels.

The U.K.’s Independent is talking about Food Republic, a “foodie website for dudes.” Before you dismiss the food as Neanderthal cuisine fit only for “Man vs. Food,” note that the site is the work of Swedish superstar chef Marcus Samuelsson. Says the Independent, “in a cyberworld saturated with mom-friendly cooking sites,” Food Republic caters “to men, an ‘underserved’ audience in today’s conversation about food.”

The site targets everyone from singles who want to impress a date to dads who want to impress their 2-year-old. In addition to recipes, the site features gadgets and tools (natch), restaurant news, food politics, eating tips from pro athletes and more. Samuelsson also promises lots of star power on the Food Republic, from top musicians to stockbrokers.

Your giggle of the day is brought to you by the website Pregnant Chicken, which has a photo gallery of cakes from baby showers. Some of these cakes are in such poor taste that we fear for the well-being of any pregnant woman who sees them. But if you’re not pregnant — don’t miss them.
